Gender Euphoria by Laura Kate Dale
5.0
A lot of people have a lot to say on "the trans debate" - and a lot of it is horse shit. Largely because it's being said by people who have an agenda but no experience.
The only people who have anything useful or meaningful to say on anything to do with trans issues is the trans community.
Which is where this book comes in.
Collated by Laura Kate Dale, Gender Euphoria looks at the lived experience of 19 trans people, covering all areas of the trans world. Trans men, trans women, different ethnicities, different sexualities - it really feels like all trans life is here.
The first-person accounts are uplifting, emotional, heartwarming, and in at least three cases will have you in tears.
In short, the book is fantastic.
It not only allows us, outsider allies, a window into the trans world so we can have clearer insight and understanding, but far more importantly tells those starting out on their trans journey that they are not alone.
It's one thing to be told others have gone through what you're going through, but here, within these pages, you can feel it, share it, live it alongside them.
You really are not alone.
